GUAR GUM
Guar Gum, a unique natural agrochemical, is derived from the endosperm of the cluster bean (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba). Processed primarily into Guar Gum Powder, it serves as a vital additive across a range of industries including food & beverages, pharmaceuticals, paper, textiles, explosives, oil well drilling, and cosmetics. The specific processing techniques for Guar Gum vary depending on the application and the required product specifications.
The gum is extracted through a mechanical process involving roasting, differential attrition, sieving, and polishing. During this process, guar seeds are broken to separate the germ from the endosperm. The split endosperm, also known as Guar splits, is then de-husked, milled, and screened to produce the final Guar Gum Powder. The result is a free-flowing, off-white powder that dissolves easily in water and exhibits exceptional hydration and thickening properties.
Guar Gum stands out as a cost-effective thickener, stabilizer, binder, plasticizer, and emulsifier. It surpasses other hydrocolloids like locust bean gum, carboxymethyl cellulose, and cellulose gum in terms of viscosity and water-binding capacity. As a polysaccharide rich in galactose and mannose, Guar Gum offers superior functionality across a broad spectrum of industrial and commercial formulations.
PROPERTIES & FUNCTIONS
With its vast application across the industries, the Guar Gum has a lot of useful properties:
-
Highly soluble in hot and cold water
-
Acts as thickener and can enhance viscosity
-
Excellent water binding quality, yet resistant to oil solvents
-
Exhibits filming qualities and high level of stability
-
Compatible with hydrocolloids
FOOD GRADE GUAR GUM
Food grade guar gum is purely natural and 100% vegetarian. The powder is a natural thickening agent used to improve food's and beverage's consistency. Guar gum is one of the best stabilizing agents. Guar gum powder is used to prepare gluten free baked items and added in ice-creams, gravies or pudding etc. When taken practically, Guar gum has eight times more thickening properties as compared to corn starch. It is used as gelling, clouding and binding agent to improve the texture of the products.
INDUSTRIAL GRADE GUAR GUM
Industrial grade guar gum is a cream-colored powder derived from the ground endosperm of the seeds of natural guar strains. It is helpful as a natural thickener, emulsifier, stabilizer, bonding agent, hydrocolloids, gelling agent, natural fiber, flocculant, fracture agent, etc. Guar Gum is relatively cost effective as compared to other thickeners and stabilizers along with it being an effective binder, plasticizer, and emulsifier.
FAST HYDRATION
Guar gum Powder is widely used in Oil and Gas well drilling to increase the production rate of oil and gas because of its multi-functions such as fluid and water loss control, lubrication and cooling of drill bits, shale inhibitor and solids carrier. It has excellent solution rheology, stability, solubility, and compatibility with other auxiliaries used in oil well drilling. Guar gum gives a better colloid to reduce water losses and to regulate the viscosity of mud solution, stabilizes and regulates the flow properties of the drilling mud.
PACKAGING & PRINTING
Our quality assurance team is on their toes during the final packaging stage. The products are packed under strict hygienic conditions with precise packaging using high standard packaging materials to ensure that the Guar Gum products are safe during its transition. We provide wide variety of packaging as per our customer’s requirement and printing is also managed in-house.
